Why must life be a purpose driven?  
Gas seems to be too high for a ride 
 
Let us instead stand tall on two feet and wander 
In the forest that is unknown 
 
Simply plant a seed that's named dream 
Keep it under close watch and soon see how it has grown 
 
Once a tall tree or small shrub, still rename it success 
After its matured move on out of that grassy mess 
 
Out of the forest and onto a new path to find 
Found when afterlife clears the mind.
